Farked elbow pics...

Well, a little over 3 weeks since my crash, I'm out of plaster, stitches are out and everything seems to be healing nicely. So, for your viewing pleasure I present...

wounds heal, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever

Does the plate ever come out?

[Scott]

ouch comes to mind.... hardcore mate... hardcore..

though, this still doesn't get you out of writing articles :)

[Ryan]

I'm not sure if the plate ever comes out Josh, I thought the doctor told me it would stay in for good, but I was hella messed up on morphine at the time so it could just be a lie.
As for writing articles, my first attempt at typing one handed shat me so greatly I learnt to type with the cast on pretty quick smart :)

If you ever break a chainstay on a ride you know you where you can get one :?

[notobe]

Very nice.

[fastrider gus]

howd you crash?

[Ryan]

Bunged a drop, hands slipped off the brakes, ploughed thru a berm and off the edge of a gully, fell about 8-9 feet onto rocks :(

ouch as someone sed would be the first that comes to mind.....
how long till ur riding again?

[Techno Destructo]

Nice! Plates and pins, although shitty when you first get them, make for KILLER X-rays!

I'll have to post up what's holding my pelvis together sometime... you'd have a laugh!

[Gutty]

That makes me feel lucky.

[Ryan]

I'm actually a bit luckier than you Gutty, I went for my first tentative ride 13 days after the accident and can now handle a bike pretty well, doin wheelies and endos, a bit of general fakie mucking about and such, though only on the street outside my house. Still not ready to hit the dirt, but being able to play on the bike a little bit is keeping me sane :)

[Adi]

I'd say that wins the 'Farked Wound Of The Month" Award

:lol:

Get well soon!

Hmm, now i don't feel so lucky........my wrist dislocated again at the bad cartlige last friday.........i don't even wanna think about what that means. Guess i'll let the doc tell me in a week or 2. :evil:

[Ryan]

Just don't tell the doc Gutty, if he doesn't know about it your recovery time can't be affected ;)

HAHAHAHAHHA
thats the best advice ive ever heard you should become a doctor;)

are you serious?? shit man, no wonder you got a bit keener on selling the bike. Make a new CNC'd polycarbonate wrist, and just get a docter to swap it for your stupid old wrist. Problem solved

[Gutty]

are you serious??

I wouldn't dare joke about this.

[duncan^kona]

nice man, as chewy said before, ur gonna have a sick scar to show at the parties, and to prove how tuff u r to the chicks man, pain for pleasure in the end i say.

[Ivan]

ryan.. hope its not giving you too much trouble. a word of advice though from someone whos been there. be carefull with your recovery time cause that plate is not as strong as your normal arm was. i broke my ulna and had a plate and eight screws too.... very similar size plate. about eight weeks after the plate being put in i snapped the plate by not doing very much at all. they then put a fuckin gigantic plate in and told me they didn't think i would break this one!

The plate can come out whenever you want it to, you just have to ask. they will leave it in forever if you don't mind and that generally is the plan. its probably good to leave it in cause it will help strengthen your arm and the scar will be bigger if they have to go in there again. but just in case your thinking of joining the airforce as a pilot... they don't allow aircrew to have had a plate in their body for more than twelve months.

good luck


sorry to be so serious

[Ride_Guy]

bloody hell good to hear ur on the heal

[Ryan]

Thanks for the tip Ivan, I'm only takin it easy on the elbow at the moment, but it's hard when you know it's getting better and better not to go out and do something stupid.
Enjoy the Boy Bike dude :)

[T.DOG]

Good to see u are on the mend, :D I was one of the guy's who helped get u and your bike out of that nasty little gully laden with big rocks at the bottom. :twisted:
hope to see u back out at castle in the future or the 4x track at lobb st. :D

[Tasha]

Just don't think that because of the broken arm, Ryan gets out of doing the washing up or cleaning :wink:

[Simo]

and i thought all my weird shaped scars were cool
